Pope Leo XIV

The first words of Pope Leo XIV

Peace be with you all!

This is the first greeting of the Risen Christ
I too would like this greeting of peace to enter your hearts, to reach your families, to all people, wherever they are, to all peoples, to the whole earth.

Peace be with you! A disarmed and disarming peace, humble and persevering. It comes from God, God who loves us all unconditionally

God cares for us, God loves you all, and evil will not prevail! We are all in God's hands. Therefore, without fear, united hand in hand with God and with each other, let's go forward. We are disciples of Christ. Christ goes before us. The world needs His light. Humanity needs Him as the bridge to be reached by God and His love. Help us too, and one another, to build bridges, through dialogue, through encounter, uniting us all to be one people always in peace

To all of you, brothers and sisters, we want to be a synodal Church, a Church that walks, a Church that always seeks peace, that always seeks charity, that always seeks to be close especially to those who suffer
